The cold storage eg.-* that have been iu hiding since last April, are now being taken out to be sold during the cold weather when the hens have stopped laying, and the tendency among dealers is to dispose of them as "strictly fresh," after removing the label on the crate showing how long they had been in cold storage. this morning prosecutions were or dered in forty-eight cases of violation of the food laws, half ot' which were against men who are selliug cold stor age eggs not properly labeled, and there were also violations of the meat laws, some of the dealers selliug diseased meats of all kinds. Many arrests are being made in the larger cities, and rt is said that the foreign-born dealers in foods in Philadelphia, are among the worst offenders.

Jones Wins Out The Public Service Commission has jiiso issued an order to the effect that the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Kailruad Company establish a passen ger fare of 5 cents each way between Taylor and Scran ton and provide ade quate facilities, which means the instal lation of two day coaches in addition to the smoking car on the train leaving Kingston at 7.10 in the morning for Bcranton and New York, for the ac commodation of passengers desiring to travel from Taylor to Scranton. The complaint was brought by Gomer Jones, and the testimony showed that the f ire had been five cents but had recently been advanced to 10 cents.

Fry's Application Because it is allesred Theodore s. Fry has not paid a bill for furniture with which he equipped his hotel, at Fifth and Short streets, Charles F. Hoover, of the C. F. Hoover Furniture «Sc Carpet Company, to day file,! a re monstrance with the court claiming that Fry U not a fit person to run a hotel and that his liquor license should not be granted. This was the fir-it remonstrance ac tually tiled iu connection with the many applications for liquor license renewals. Hoover claims that jie brought suit against Fry more than a year airo for the amount of the furniture bill. 5200.43, and since that time the defen dant has paid but $13.50. Another allegation in the remon strance is that Fry cannot now ■sell his place of business, for hotel purposes, in view of the fact that the building and ground is in the t'aipitol Park zone, and soon will be taken over by the State. If the hotel furniture were to be by tlfe sheriff. Hoover asserts, it would not bring much more than the sheriff 's costs.

IT PAYS TO USE STAB INDEPENDENT WANT ADS. i '! '<? ' ' _ " ' ' HARRISBURG STAR-INDfIPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10, 1915. GERMANS IN BATTLE LOSE THOUSANDS C«Btlanrd From First Pas*. than twenty-two violent attacks upon certain heights in the region of Koziou wka, occupied by us. The Germans came forward to this attack several ranks deep, presenting a full front line. Violent Cross Fire of Germans " I'nder our violent cross fire the Germans here twice took possession of a certain height, but they were dislodg ed by counter attacks deliv>red by our infantry. This success was preceded by long and violent haud to hand fighting with the bayonet which is without" precedent iu history. The losses sustain ed iu this engagement by the Germans were exceedingly heavy. "Attacks of the enemy in the vicin ity of Wysehkowo also were repulsed. In the Black Sea the former Germau cruiser Breslau (now a unit of the Turkish navy) bombarded Yalta, in the Crimea. Our cruisers on February 8, shelled a Turkish battery at Trebizond, and sank one steamer. Another steamer 'loaded with provisions and a two-mast ed schooner were sunk near Leros. Attacks Made By Germans "In order to attack our positions near Koziowka the Germans commenced their concentration of troops the night of February 7. Early the next morning they began the delivery of an irrestible offensive movement, and their attack 1 was supported by a very violent fire from their heavy artillery. They were 1 successful in gaining an important ' height occupied by us but they were promptly driven from this position be fore our bayonets. "Attacks then followed without let up. Toward evening the Germans in very considerable numbers took posses sion of the highest positiou in our line from which they were dislodged only after a desperate fight. Before retiring they exhausted all their strength in a stubborn resistance to a general counter attack on our part, a feature of which was an unprecedented encounter with I the bayonet. 1,000 German Dead Counted "At the side of tfois hill was cover ed by German corpses. In front of one of our battalions more than 1,000 Ger man dead were counted. "Among the trophies captured near Kamion are three mine throwers. At Rawaka, near the railroad to Skiernie wic, Russian foot soldiers were success ful in throwing eight bombs into the German trenches. These missiles caused great destruction. ''Russian aviators threw bombs 011 German troop trains ntar Rawaka. The general staff of the Russian army in the Caucasus communicates under "date of 1 ebruarv 8 that there has beeu no en gagement of importance to record." Details of Desperate Fighting Details of a desperate fight in the (arpathiaus with ferocious bavonet charges described as without precedent in history reached Petrograd to-day. According to these reports, repeated German attacks were finallv repulsed by the Russians, and the German dead lay in great numbers in front of the Russian positions. The losses are de scribed as enormous. The scene of the fighting was Beli grod. 30 miles south of Sanok, iu Ga licia. It is estimated by the Rus sians that the Hungarian forces have been augmented by 300.000' Germans. The German plan seems to be to transfer their troops to points where there is greater opportunity of pierting the Russian defensive. Fierce Attack of Germans Concentrating their forces the night of February 7, the Germans the follow ing morning began what doubtless rap idly developed into one of the fiercest attacks in the history of the Carpa thian campaign. With their first line almost annihilated, the Germans pushed forward their second, line, under the support of heavy artillery, and gained strategic elevation. But from this they were driven back by a Russian bayonet charge. Attack and counter attack followed and towards evening the Ger mans. in great numbers, seemed to be in permanent possession of the heights. The general counter attack by the Russians resulted in two hours of hard band-to-hand lighting, which left the snow clad hills strewn with dead. Aft er a stubborn resistance the German regiments were driven out. A Russian officer claims to have counted upwards of 1,000 German dead.

AUDIENCE APPLAUDS FINE PICTURES OF ANTARCTIC In Lecture at Majestic Sir Douglas Mawsou Tells of Thrilling Experi ences in Newly Explored Regions— Governor Is Appreciative \~ The beautiful scenery, lUe queer land an\l sea animals, and (lie unusual climatic conditions of tiie South Polar regions were all shown in four reels of unusually distinct moving pictures at the Majestic theatre last night, aud commented upon in the course of his talk by Sir Douglas Ma'wson, famous Antarctic explorer, who was brought here through the efforts of the Harris burg Natural History Society. The pictures, taken at many times under difficulties, with the photog rapher hanging from ropes or facing great wind storms, showed clearly the nature of t'he laud newly discovered by Mawsou's expedition, leaving only the intense cold to be imagined. The hut erected by the explorers was shown, almost completely covered over by the uniting snow aud thus kept compara tively warm—" almost up to the freez ing [>oiut in fact." Comfort Inside Hut Of particular interest were the pic tures of the interior of the hut, which was iu two sections, work shop and living room. Here w'ere small libraries, an electric light [tent, au acetylene plaut, a wireless apparatus which was in coutinual use, and numerous micro scopes and other scientific instruments. The stock of food was sufficient to last the party which stayed at the hut for over a year. While the house lights were turned ou between reels, the explorer told in a halting manner of the death of his two companions, Lieutenant Ninnis and Dr. Mem., While they and he were on an exploring expedition, and of his own narrow escape from a horrible death in a erevaflee iuto which he fell, and was suspended by a rope. During this recital the speaker nervously linger ed the electric sigm:l which he held in his hand, winding the cor.l into knots and then untangling it, aud looking at the tloor when he mentioned his dead companions, or his own hazardous ex perienee. Narrow Escape From Death '■While 1 was danging at the en,l of the rope over the crevasse," he 'said, "and seemed to have no more strength left to make a tinal effort to escape. I thought of a lot of strange things. Everything seemed different from the way it did on the earth, for 1 felt that I was no longer on the earth. I thought of things t'ha't never occurred to me in just t'ho same way before, and I—l can't describe at all how it felt to face death like that." Sir Douglas made his escape from his perilous position by exerting the strength of despair, ami when he reach ed the Arm ice at the edge of the crevasse he swooned away. He had been living on small quantities of dog's meat tor many days, and was able to return to the hut only with the greatest difli culty. He ha I left improvised crosses to mark the graves of his two dead companions. The pictures of the penguius, snow birds, seals atjd sea % elephants of the South Polar region w'ere very attractice and there was much in the actions of the queer animals that was genuinely comical. Audience Applauds Pictures The audience heartily applauded pic tures of unusual beauty during the ex hibition, a rather unusual , roced.ire. The applause was probably meant for the skillful photographer who succeeded in getting so many odd pictures under great difficulties. Governor Brumbaugh, who intro duced Sir Douglas to the audience, oc i upied a box during the lecture and bowel his appreciation to tiie explorer at the conclusion.

Under the terms of. the measure the maximum number of companies of in fantry has been reduced from ISO to 150. The artillery maximum has been increased from live batteries tq twelve, which will provide for two regiments of field artillery of six batteries each. The bill also provides for one regimeut of cavalry, which is now organized. The necessary complement of engineer aud signal corps organizations is provided for, as woll as field>hospitals and ambu lance companies necessary to form a properly balanced division. The only State having such a divi sion is New York, aud it that the only other one that can possibly furnish a division is Pennsylvania, but whether or not a division can be organ ized in this State will depend 011 the increase to be made in the appropria tion. Another feature of the bill is the change in the method of selecting com missioned officers. Heretofore field of .fleers of regiments have been elected by the line officers. The bill provides for their appointment by the Governor. It provides for the appointment by the Governor of captains and first lieuten ants of companies, the men of the com pany to elect second lieutenants. It is believed this method will secure a higher degree of efficiency, as officers before being appointed will be required to undergo examinations to prove their fitness for commission. Staff officers of regiments will be ap- 1 pointed by regimental commanders, as I heretofore. The quartermasters and sub-' sisteflce departments will be consoli-i dated and known as quartermaster! ; corps. In all other respects the new I law will be practically the same as the! 1 present law. The Adams bill, it is held,' would place the National Guard in an j advanced position, and practically con-! form to the requirements of thj war de- ] ; partment as to organization, training ; and discipline. The bill, should it become a law, will I become effective on June 1, next. P. O. CLEKIiS TO BANQUET Congressman A. S.

LYNCH ASSERTS FUN OF INAYOROUNCOMr Caattanril From First Pafk be legally proceeded wit'li at once, aud that, said resolution was offered by the Superintendent of Public Affairs as one more of his numerous efforts for politi cal buncombe only. The Views of the Mayor During the debate on the Roval resolution yesterday the Mayor said the question raised by his measure is one of "humanity and dollars and cents," and besides saving that it is a Jifficult problem to deal with and prob ably would mean added expense to the city, he stated: "Under the circumstances it seems to me it should be done to give work to the unemployed who do not care to depend upon charity." The. Republican Commissioners, both at yesterday's meeting and before to day '3 special session, declared them selves in favor of any feasible plan to put the city's unemployed at work,\but they asserted they are at thoir wits' end to know just what to do to carry out the purpose without putting the city to a gre.it amount of expense. The prevailiug freezing tempera tures, they argued, make it inadvisable to order paving contractors to start, 1 work since experts advised them, they • say, that paving work done now would be very unsatisfactory and would cost much more thau if it was done iu the • hot wewther season. The same is true with the buildiug 1 of sewers, they said, because the con- i tractors would be'put to an extra ex-j pense in order to protect his men from the dangers of the iground caving in. "UNCLE HENRY"MUCH PLEASEd Points to Fact Senators of All Parties Voted Against Abolishing His Post The summary death of t'he project to abolish t'he ofiiie of Secretary of . In ternal Affairs, at present held by Henry Houek, of Lebanon, was a source of great gratification to "Uncle Henry," who was in the Senate yesterday at the : time Senator Snyder, of Schuylkill, wielded the snickersnee that separated the cervical yertabrae of the bill, and consigned it to au early grave. One thing that seems to have been forgotten in the plan to abolish tihe De partment of Internal Affairs was that jit would also have abolished the Board of Pardons, that last refuge and hope of every man convicted in the State. The Constitution says that the Board of Pardons shall consist of the Lieutenant. Governor, the attorney General, the Secretary of the Commonwealth aud the Secretary of Internal Affairs. In the abolition of any one of these of fices, it was held by eminent attorneys in tie State, tho Board of Pardons would be disintegrated and it could not do business: but that lias boen averted by the killing of the proposed con stitutional amendment to abolish "Uncle llenry" llouek s job. Speak ! ing of the defeat of tiie measure Secre [ tary Houck said to-dav: "I won the fight to defeat that res . olution by a majority. Every Sen ator was for me and against Hie nieas ! ure. Republicans, Democrats and even . the Progressive Senator, were for me. I It was a wonderful victory, and I am deeply grateful to my friends for their . interest iu the defeat of the resolu | tion." | During this morning a large number of friends called on Secretary Houck ; and congratulated him 011 the ilefeait of 1 the project that would have abolished I his office.
